Ask the Chefs (Post your cooking questions here)

[nonpaq]

With the release of various new kitchens for the Herald/Wing, I'm sure there are going to be many newbie cooks with many newbie questions. I'm creating this thread as a place to ask our remaining Chefs questions in a central location to avoid them being bombarded in the various other threads. I define a "Chef" as those cooks who have released many flavors of ROMs, so presumably they know what they are doing, and thay are still cooking for the herald/wing... aka Ivanmmj, Ace10134, Apreichner, IllConcepts, etc. No disrespect intended to those great cooks who have released ROMs in the past, but have gone on to other projects, aka toadlife, ttran001, itje, Papamopps, Dutty, ICP, KidnamedAlbert, ginolin, and others... if you are still around, feel free to participate.

Please limit your questions to issues with ROM COOKING. Take a look at Ace's Guide to Cooking (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=541504)before asking. Then if all else fails... ASK THE CHEF.

Please state which kitchen you are using, which WinMo build, and as much detail as possible. If you get the answer, please update your post so that it is not answered multiple times.

I'll answer :)

And you've got my GUIDE (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=541504).

Please link that in the first post, since that'll eliminate a large percentage of questions!!

Ok... I guess I'll ask the first question. I asked this in Ivan's SuperJustKitchen thread because it happened with his kitchen, but I'll ask it here for all the other roaming chefs and WinMo experts.

I cooked a spanish Rom for wm6.5 23016, using the default setting and adding a few items like voice command and .NETCF 3.7. The build was successful as well as the flash. Everything looks OK except that CABs wont install and Themes will not apply.

Ivan says he's looking into it, but I know he's busy. IllConcepts says he encountered this in one of his ROM builds but did not say how he resolved it. I would like to investigate the cause myself, but I'm not sure where to start. Can anyone tell me which program actually does the install of CAB files (when double clicked) so I can verify the file association in registry for CAB files. Also, how exactly are themes applied when clicked in the Today settings panel.

I haven't spent a lot of time on SJK yet. But when i tried it i couldn't install cabs or get an internet connections. Ivan can best answer that since its his Kitchen.

The CAB issue is only on the 6.5 builds and I'm looking for a fix right now.
The internet connection is because you didn't install and run Network Wizard. I'm going to guess that you use T-mobile. It seems that only T-mobile users run into the "problem" of the internet connection not working. (I think the average tmobile user is used to having a phone that is FROM tmobile and therefore already preconfigured by tmobile.)

lol ya the network config wizard was the cab I tried to install. Once the cab thing is worked out it will be easy sailing!

That gives me the idea of adding EXT packages for each carrier...

That would be cool! I am not 100% sure that it was the network setup i needed. When i would go to Setting/Connections/Connections there was nothing at all. Usually there is an "Add a new modem connection, Set up proxy, etc" But it was completely blank Except for the word connections on top. Usually on "Herald" roms on my wing i can manually do the wap.voicestream and be fine. I could be wrong however.... i am very new at this. :confused:

Well we can't help you if we don't know what ROM you're using. You should really know which ROM you downloaded. But it sounds like you're using an outdated ROM anyways. Get a newer WinMo 6.1 or 6.5 one, they all work fine.

And, this isn't the place for asking that question, anyways. This thread is for asking the chefs on how to cook, not personal issues with ROM's.

Wrong forum. Please ask your answer in this forum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=306). There should be a bunch of users more than qualified for helping you out.
